Cardiff City Pursues Transfer of Ricky-Jade Jones

Cardiff City is actively pursuing a transfer for Ricky-Jade Jones, a forward from Peterborough United, as manager Omer Riza aims to strengthen the squad with 'three or four' new players this January. Jones, who has scored 12 goals in 30 appearances this season, is out of contract at the end of the campaign, potentially making him available for a reduced fee. However, Cardiff's efforts face competition from Middlesbrough, who have also shown interest in the 22-year-old. Riza acknowledged that discussions are ongoing, but emphasized there are obstacles including player interest and financial considerations. As the Bluebirds sit second from bottom in the Championship, bolstering their attack is critical to avoid relegation. Riza has also mentioned looking into other players for enhancing pace and creativity in the squad.
